April 9, 2016 - The visiting Henderson Lady Lions held off a late Center Lady 'Rider rally to defeat CHS 7-2 last Friday. During a last inning rally, two towering blast off of Lady 'Rider Mekayla Hubbard's bat, which hooked just inches foul, made this game seem much closer than the final score.
Center jumped out to a 2-0 lead when Karson Milford and Katelyn Bolton reached base on infield hits, and both players later scored on wild pitches.
Lady Lion Tori Lee scored on a sacrifice fly in the top of the fourth inning, after reaching base on an infield hit. This cut Center's lead to 2-1.
Lee was hit by a pitch in the top of the sixth inning and Henderson rallied to score three runs in the frame to take a 4-2 advantage.
Henderson's Chaynia Sparks hit a 3-run home run, over the right field fence, in the top of the seventh inning, to give HHS the final 7-2 advantage.
The Lady Roughriders will travel to Carthage on Tuesday, April 12 for a 6:15 pm game with the Lady Bulldogs.
